Stillwater, Okla. — Oklahoma State's Cowboy Basketball team, fresh off a 79-72 upset win over No. 2 Missouri, will travel to College Station, Texas, this weekend for a Big 12 Conference matchup with the Texas A&M Aggies.

The Cowboys are led by senior guard Keiton Page, who is averaging 14.7 points per game. Freshman guard/forward Le'Bryan Nash is second on the squad with his 13.2 ppg average, thanks to a career-high 27 points in OSU's win over Missouri.
The Aggies are led by junior guard Elston Turner, a transfer from Washington, who is averaging 14.3 points per game and shooting nearly 40 percent from beyond the three-point arc. Junior forward Khris Middleton, a preseason All-Big 12 selection, has been hampered by a knee injury but is still averaging 12.4 points in 11 outings.
